It was a pleasure to speak yesterday to the Medical Club at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania about what it's like to be an Orthopaedic Surgeon and Sports Medicine Specialist. In addition to Dr Millett's daily work as a surgeon, he also talked about some of the research that he is doing.

Students were very engaged, engaging, and asked really great questions about a career in medicine, the transition to medical school from undergrad, and some of the research that physicians perform. Special thanks to Emily Cherny who is the head of the Lehigh Medical Club and Sadie Millett class of 2028 for helping to organize this experience!
